Two Kinds of Crazy

One is crazy cute and adorable - talking 'bout videos for goodness sakes! - and the other is a crazy kind of lonely captured in a song. The latter does offer a solution and a reflection on our own responsibility for our situations though (found in the last line of verse two. Lyrics provided).



 

Kriz Rogers wrote this song when going through a divorce. She performed it live with her band Countryfied at the Swedish Masters of Country Music in September of 2008.

Driving Me Crazy

Lyrics - Copyright Kriz Rogers

The ones I loved before gave me what I asked for

A bunch of lies and heartaches that made me walk the floor.

But, they were honest, told the truth 'bout what they did so I knew.

What a difference it was, not anything like you.

Driving me crazy

To the edge of the world.

My heart is not driven in a way it deserves.

Living by anger - praying for love.

Driving me crazy

to the edge of the world.

At times I touch the sky. Countless days I crawl on ground

so dirty it's like darkness there maybe I belong.

But I'm not stupid, I can see if I stay here I do me wrong.

There's no one who'll rescue me: not anyone but me.

I'm driving me crazy

To the edge of the world.

My heart is not driven in a way it deserves.

Living by anger - praying for love.

Driving me crazy to the edge of the world.

Driving me crazy to the edge of the world.

Marilyn's Song - A Living Room Session

A song that I wrote to empower my friend Marilyn and any lady that needs some encouragement after going through any kind of abuse:

A Re-write Blessed With Sunshine

Today started out a little grey and rainy. It ended up with sunbeams blessing a project; a song.

As an NSAI member active in submitting songs for evaluation, I submit songs I've written and receive feedback and suggestions on improvement.  If you are a songwriter and have not yet started getting your songs evaluated and critiqued, I highly recommend it.  When you let true professionals look at your songs, they have your best interest at heart, the best interest for the song becoming the best it can be and the process of making you the best songwriter you can be at heart too.

Recently I have put effort in re-writing a song I submitted a while back. It is an inspirational song and at first it did not seem to be wanting to be re-written (yes, songs do have life and soul and can talk to you, just not with a regular voice). I dis not give up though, I kept at it and tried soooo many different angles for verse 2. Today I finished it easily with a new bridge too, and as soon as I did, the sun started shining. I take that as a sign from above. You may think that it is silly or crazy, but I am a believer in the Divine in everything and therefore a believer in signs. My re-write was approved by sunbeams from above.
